We'll keep your car running perfectly
We’ll cover the cost of your regular servicing, maintenance and routine repairs. This includes any adaptation you had fitted that might need regular maintenance too.
You’ll need an MOT every three years to check your car is safe to drive and meets environmental standards. You can see when your MOT is due in your online account, or reach out to your dealer if you're still not sure. Your MOT is included as part of your lease.
You can arrange this directly with your dealer. Alternatively, you can book an appointment online with your local Kwik Fit centre.(opens in a new window)
The latest car means the latest tech. Remember, you'll get more than a brand-new car and our all-inclusive lease package. You'll get to enjoy all the latest features and tech too.
We'll give you breakdown cover
We include breakdown cover in your lease through RAC Motability Assist.
Download the myRAC app(opens in a new window). It’s the easiest way to report a breakdown and has lots of helpful features, like a route planner, vehicle maintenance reminders, news and advice.

We’ll arrange your tax for you
If you live in Great Britain or Northern Ireland
When you get your new vehicle, it'll already be taxed for the first year, then we'll renew it for you each year of your lease.
If you live on the Isle of Man
We'll tax your vehicle for your first year, but you'll need to renew it each year after that.
If you decide to pay your own tax
Some people find it’s best to keep their disability exemption on a private vehicle and pay for their Scheme vehicle tax themselves. Let your dealer know when you apply or contact us if you decide during your lease.
If you drive an electric car and choose to pay your own road tax, you’ll need to start paying tax for this vehicle from 2025. If you use your disability exemption on your Scheme electric vehicle, we’ll arrange this for you, as normal. You will not need do or pay anything.
